Order of bacteria
The
Legionellales
are an order of
Pseudomonadota
("Proteobacteria"). Like all
Pseudomonadota
, they are
Gram-negative
.
[2]
They comprise two families, typified by
Legionella
and
Coxiella
, both of which include notable pathogens. For example,
Q fever
is caused by
Coxiella burnetii
and
Legionella pneumophila
causes
Legionnaires' disease
[3]
[4]
and
Pontiac fever
.
[5]
[6]
[7]
Members of the order
Legionellales
can be molecularly distinguished from other
Gammaproteobacteria
by the presence of four
conserved signature indels
(CSIs) in the proteins tRNA-guanine(34) transglycosylase, lipoprotein-releasing system transmembrane protein lolE and tRNA (guanosine(37)-N1)-methyltransferase TrmD.
